i have a 97 s10, will these work to lower the ride height in the rear? looking to lower for loading the bike then raise back up to drive around.

If your trunk is lowered already it will only bring up the height of the rear. You may want to look at an Air ride suspension (air bags).

No. The ride height is determined mainly by the springs, or the addition of a lowering block in between the axle and the spring. These are for raising or stiffening the rear when you have a heavy load.

they should work fine. i also used these to level out my jeep. i bought 2 inch lift coils then added these to level front to back. they worked perfect and my jeep looks right. it was kinda looking low in the front but now sits nice. good luck

I think you could hook them up to a manual air supply or override the onboard controls and do what you want. I have used air shocks with a manual fill before and it worked.

No these are stock ride height; actually seem shorter since they cannot be compressed by hand like standard shocks

I have a lowered BMW 745Li and they work perfectly. They also do not slide when you first drive up on them. Great product.

I installed this item on my truck and it works great I think it takes too long to lower. I don't think there is any way to adjust these as they are a gas charged cylinder. Maybe you can request a replacement with the vendor. The first one I ordered was the incorrect item, I ordered the right one after sending the wrong one back.

fitted with moog cargo coils they firmed up the rear no more bottoming however mines a 98 Take a look at other shock catalogs they may show the same application

Tom, the shocks are shorter than your stock shocks. They fit, but the ride will not have the travel of the original shock. So if a much stiffer and easy to bottom out ride is ok, then this is a solution to lower your ride.

I don't know, I haven't got around to installing mine, I am planing to lowerwith mine, and visual inspection looks they should work either way.

They are around 160mm or 6 inches high. My van (Transit connect) got on with no problems, they'd be a little bit of an issue with a lower vehicle. I did find a little mod to enable lower cars to get on, but you'll have to Google that one.

Yes they do, but not much! But I used them at regular height. I did not lower my vehicle. I only put them on the rear which not sure if that makes it bounce more, by not putting them on the front also. The main objective was to carry heavy loads once in a while or when 2 people are in the back seat my vehicle doesn't bottom out. I bought Heavy Duty Koni Struts and set that level to the middle perch level. This also makes it stiffer. The roads are very bad here so it really is much better for me. Still thinking if i want to do the front or not.

I wouldn't be so worried about the width it's about being able to drive up them. In my stock height scion FRS my bumper hits so they are useless to me. So a lowered stang probably can't get up them.

They do go up in down. Make sure that you have an Invacare wheel, if not they will not fix. I found that I needed to remove the foot pedal because my legs were longer. Good luck.

you need to get the ones for a four inch lift, or they will not have enough rebound. They are great shocks, mine are for three inch lift, check application chart.

Yes. I have them on my 02 sporty custom and I weigh 260. I love the ride but realize they are short. Short means less travel. Less travel means stiffer ride. It's not like riding on struts by any means but you're going to notice a difference. Personally, I love them. I love the lower profile, the look, the ride is better too. Go with them, you won't be sorry.

I just installed these on my m109r. These perfectly replace the current risers, but you need to replace the throttle cable, clutch cable and break lines cause they will be too short. These risers work and look great!

It will not lift your car any higher than the stock. what i used it for was raising the car back up with a wheel chair lift on the back that made it sag and it worked great. You might try air shocks i have had luck with those in the past they can raise your ride hieght a few inches when you air them up.
